UNITED STATES SPACE FORCE

THE UNITED STATES SPACE FORCE WILL BE THE SIXTH OFFICIAL BRANCH OF THE UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES, TO PROTECT AMERICA’S SPACE ADVANTAGES and DEVELOP OPERATIONS IN OUTER SPACE. SPACE IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR NATIONAL DEFENSE STRATEGY AND THE DOD PROPOSAL FOR THE WAY FORWARD KEEPS THAT FIRMLY IN MIND.

AIR FORCE SPACE COMMAND, SOMETIMES INFORMALLY REFERRED TO AS U.S. SPACE COMMAND, IS A COMMAND OF THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE. THE AIR FORCE HAS OVERSEEN THE DOMAIN SINCE THE MID-1950'S. AS TECHNOLOGY HAS ADVANCED IN THE 21ST CENTURY, SPACE HAS BECOME A WAR-FIGHTING DOMAIN IN NEED OF BETTER PROTECTION AND THE UNITED STATES SPACE FORCE WILL PROVIDE THAT.
